•,. <br />Saint Casimir's Parish National Register Historic District <br />Hooses with and without Character Defining Features <br />. *0-. T <br />NME <br />IIID 'i11111111�1111111�11�1 <br />)ry L plan cottage with side porch. Many original <br />can be found intact on this house. The proportions <br />house are quite balanced and made more interest - <br />h the addition of the side porch. <br />• Triple double hung wood windows (three <br />vertical panes over one pane) and wood <br />storm windows!!! <br />• Clapboard siding with cornice board <br />• Louver <br />• Open porch with square porch piers <br />Steeper pitched cross gable house with a side porch. The <br />porch posts are thinner and are probably replacements. This <br />photo also shows a house with many intact features includ- <br />ing: <br />• Clapboard siding with cornice board <br />• Three double hung windows with three <br />vertical lights over one light <br />• Double hung window under the gable <br />• Storm windows <br />• Wood window trim <br />This gable front house now lacks its original character <br />compared to the houses above. The installation of alumi- <br />num siding required the removal of the window trim and <br />the cornice board, but left an uninteresting striped texture. <br />The new double hung window gives the house a blank ex- <br />pression. This house no longer has the window moldings, <br />windows; louver, and cornice trim that give the other <br />houses more street appeal, value, and historic character. <br />- Page 3 - <br />
